Tiny House Basics

“Tiny House Basics” is an adventure in off grid living! In their debut book, tiny house living experts Shelley and Joshua Engberg show you how you can join the revolution to downsize to small space living without giving up everything you hold dear. This is not about downsizing drastically, or giving up a lot of your necessities. They show you how your life still can be comfortable and entertaining in a tiny house living environment. This is about redefining what a house is and mastering organization, location and happiness. You can still keep your closet full and pantry stocked.

Put Your Message Here Too

First and foremost this book will give you the confidence and integrity to approach any sponsor with a Win-Win attitude. We have been asked a number of times how we managed to partner with the likes of LP SmartSide, ClimateRight, EcoFoil, and others. “Do you know someone that works there?” The question has been asked enough times that we feel like an answer is necessary. And so now it is with easy-to-understand sections like Relationship Over Interest, Types of Sponsorships, Building a Social Media Strategy, and E-mail 101, as well as personal accounts from other tiny house community members who have enjoyed the sponsorship of companies; local and national!

Turning Tiny

This compilation book came about because of the amazing stories I have been following on social media for the past few years. Those stories literally came to life for me at the little event last summer that came to define the tiny house movement and its people: the Tiny House Jamboree of 2015. It was an unbelievable time; magical, and life changing for so many people. It was like the first family get-together of an entire movement. Most of us there knew that this was the start of something greater than a singular event or even a “movement”. Out of the hundreds of stories that came out during the Jamboree at least some had to be shared and even memorialized.
